I Run To US

By Ika Zafika

Contemporary Second Chance Romance Reality Show Love Story Slow Burn Romance

They ran the race of their lives only to discover the finish line is not where or what they expected.

Leah never expected the adventure of a lifetime to come with a side of heartbreak. But when she signs up for the hit reality show Race Across the World, that's exactly what she gets. Instead of her best friend, she's paired with her ex-fianc , Ethan Blake, a man she hasn't spoken to in years and has every reason to avoid.

Thrown together across continents; from the bustling souks of Marrakesh to the moonlit streets of Tokyo, they clash, compete, and collide in a high-stakes journey that tests their limits and challenges everything Leah thought she knew about love.

But this isn't just a typical reality show romance...

When producers manipulate vulnerability into viral heartbreak content, Leah's truth is weaponized for ratings. Suddenly, the world is not sure whether they are enemies or lovers. She is not sure what they are. And Ethan... well, let me not spoil it.

Alongside rival contestants, beloved alliances, and fractured friendships, Leah and Ethan are pushed to their breaking point.

If you love heartfelt contemporary romance with emotional depth, character growth, and a romance swept across the globe, I Run To Us will steal your heart and stay with you long after the final page.

Perfect for fans of Emily Henry, Christina Lauren, Sally Thorne, and Tessa Bailey
